MEMORANDUM
To: Board of County Commissioners
From: Judy Clarke, Director of Engineering Services
Date: July 27, 2018
Re: Appeal of Right -of -Way permit denial — Edgar G. Braswell IV, 715 1St St, Big Coppitt
This item is an appeal of the Engineering Department's denial of an after the fact right -of -way
permit application to allow landscaping on the County Right of Way at 715 1s Street, Big Coppitt.
The permit application was denied because Monroe County Code Section 19 -33 specifies that no
landscaping is permitted within the 50ft sight triangle at an intersection as shown on general detail
G6.0 of the Monroe County Public Works Manual.
Code Compliance staff referred this location to Engineering Department on July 9, 2018 and after a
site inspection engineering staff sent a notification letter to the property owner on July 10, 2018.
The owner contacted engineering on July 13 and stated that they were working with Craig
Reynolds Landscaping and that a representative from that company would be contacting
engineering to work on a resolution. Alex Thommes with Craig Reynolds Landscaping contacted
the engineering department on July 16 with questions concerning the county's rules and
regulations. On July 17 the owner and representatives were informed that no trees or shrubs could
be planted in the 50ft sight triangle and all items other than groundcover needed to be removed or
relocated. The owner contacted the engineering department on July 24 requesting to appeal to the
BOCC.

Re: Landscaping on County right -of -way
Lot 12 -14, Block 6, Johnsonville Subd., RENO 151780-000000
Mr. Braswell,
This letter will serve as notice, as required under Section 19 -48 of the Monroe County
Code that work consisting of installation of landscaping was performed in the right of
way along the sides of your property without a right of way permit or approval from
Monroe County Public Works /Engineering Department.
Monroe County Code Section 19 -33(a) specifies that a permit is required before the
commencement of any work on County rights of ways. As the owner of record, you are
required to either remove these items immediately and return the county right of way to
its pre -work condition or apply for an after the fact permit and pay all applicable permit
and penalty fees. In order for an after the fact permit to be issued, the unpermitted work
must meet all road details and specifications as outlined in Monroe County's Public
Works Manual.
If you should have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free
to contact me by telephone at (305) 292 -4427 or by email at Erickson-
B eatit c(�i),MotitocCoutity- L. .
